Craig 6682 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Is anyone here clued up on UHF radio microphones? I think I know the answers but want re-assurance before I proceed. I run the pub quiz down my local and we use a radio mic system. Last Sunday the microphone was left on the bar, got knocked off and, well ...... it's now an ex-microphone. The frequency of the receiver and the mic is 606-630MHz (Band F I think!). The pub bought a replacement mic but got one that is Band H 494-518MHz so wasn't compatible and has been returned. I've now found a 'like-for-like' complete system on Amazon for a reasonable price only it's on 470-494MHz (Band K?!). If I did a complete replacement there shouldn't be any issue with it being a different frequency, should there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you replacing the whole system when you say a complete replacement? @Craig Edited January 27, 2023 by Kevin Carr's Gloves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 Yeah mate - receiver and transmitter. This is the model - same as already there, it's just a different frequency band but still UHF.

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3887 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 If you’re replacing the full whack then it should be spot on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3355 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Just to confirm KCC's answer, from a TV radio mic POV, if it is both transmitter and receiver you will be fine. Only thing to be aware of, and not sure if it is an issue in the UK, but certain frequency kits in the UHF band, can be unusable in different countries because they are frequencies used by TV and radio broadcast or phone networks. But if you bought it from a local supplier you should be good as they wouldn't be allowed to sell something that clashes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyColucci 0 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 In terms of traditional analog wireless systems (VHF and UHF), UHF systems do not hold any large technical advantage over otherwise similar VHF systems. However, interference due to electrical equipment, digital devices, computers and other electronic equipment is generally lower at UHF frequencies.
